Beautiful bar, but still casual/divey. Inside has a tin ceiling, original floor boards, etc... Kind of quirky. No food except on weekends and only 2 stools at a bar that could hold 8 or 10. I didn't mind standing at the bar though. Limited draft options, but pretty well selected. Had a Spaten Oktoberfest tonight. Has a dart board and table shuffleboard.

This bar gives off good vibes the minute we walked into the door. Perhaps it was the girl with the pink hair who turned towards the open door with a smile or the bartender who made friendly jokes about our orders and even tried to honor a Floridan Long Island Ice Tea (first one I've ever seen that's blue). Great clientele, nice update bartender and plenty of chairs around to chill out. Drink prices decent, good beer selection, and nuthin is watered down here. We stopped by for a quick drink and ended up playing darts for close to two hours with my sister's friends. Will be back in the summer when its warm enough to hang out outside.

So, me and my bf got off the river and we're looking for some eats. We've been to the meck before at night and liked the beer they have on tap. Today however I just had the worst service. The bartender in swishy track pants never greeted us when we sat at a table. Let alone acknowledge we walked into the bar. Maybe y'all's bartenders don't serve the floor. That's fine, but let me know? So I don't sit there like a ding dong for 15 min. I order food and a beer and a Coke for myself at the bar. Where we have to pay upfront even if we're are dining in. So I understand it's a college bar but how am I supposed to tip if I don't know how you're service is going to be? (I'm a 20% tipper + bc Ive been a bartender and served) so I pay the girl. Food takes about 35 min to come out for shrimp and a steak and cheese sandwich, without anyone in the bar, and a handful of patrons outside. Not the bartenders fault. That's on the Cook because he was walking amongst the bar and probably had no idea that a ticket was in his window. So finally food arrives and its filling. Not amazing but decent. Bar food. But not once, even with zero people in the bar except for us two did the bartender ask hey how's your food? Can I get you anything else? Refill? Ketchup? Another beer? For goodness sake your facing us standing at the bar! Helllooo!! Okay so maybe I'm being a bit of an ass, but I always appreciate good service... Step it up meck. Step it up.

Like Lost Dog Coffee down the street, a visit to Shepherdstown is not complete without a stop at the Mecklenburg Inn. The place oozes with personality, from its tin ceiling to its church pew benches and, most of all, the WORLD'S BEST BEER GARDEN. When the weather is nice, head out back to the garden and experience this little treasure. Open Mike Night is on Tuesdays and the mix of musicians and patrons enjoying them is really great to experience. Staff is always wonderful, efficient, and friendly. Burgers and Steak-n-Eggs are fantastic and inexpensive for the quality, though not available every day of the week. (Check out their Facebook page for food and pub hours.) Esquire magazine even ran a little article on this illustrious place, rating it one of the best bars in the entire COUNTRY: esquire.com/bestbars/bb-… . That's saying something! Be advised this is a 21-and-older pub - no kids allowed.

An amazingly warm atmosphere where only the friendliest, most interesting folks gather.

Very cool place in what seems to be a very cool, artsy town. I stopped in for a cider on my way through town. Hey, not everyone wants to take the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Pittsburgh to D.C. Some people like to take the scenic route! A great, old-fashioned building with an amazing extended courtyard out back. The closest feel to a British country pub that I have found in America. And that is quite a compliment. Best part - order drinks at the bar, take them and find a table. No servers! No waiting for someone to bring you a drink! (Maybe that is different when they are serving food - the night I was there it was drinks only.) I really liked this pub and I would make a special trip to visit again. Make that I *will* make a special trip to visit again!!!

The Meck is absolutely one of my favorite places on the planet. This old post office has tin ceilings, stained glass, lots of wood and tons of charm. The Bar is always dimly lit. In the back there is a place for a good game of darts. Branded a "townie" bar for locals only back in the late 80's (maybe earlier for all I know), but since has broadened it's customer base to an eclectic crowd. Open mic night is always good, where the local talent take the stage. They even make a mean burger here (on the weekends). Do yourself a favor, gather a few close friends, order a Guinness from George at the bar and grab a seat by a fire in the winter or on the tree swing, under the bamboo, in the garden in the summer (say hello to BK, an orange tailess cat, ); they even rent beautifully antique furnished rooms if the party gets a little out of control... life doesn't get much better than this.

Another friendly beer selection and great food. A good place to whoop it up.

Great local bar, good good food, nice garden. Cool staff and local bands. Greatful Dead jam the first Tuesday of every month, always a party!

Mellow bar with tons of historic charm, including a tin ceiling and well-worn wood floors. I visited on a cold January night, and missed out on the garden and swings though :( From the other reviewers it sounds like a return visit once the weather warms up would very much be worthwhile. I love that they have Guinness on tap, and enjoyed sitting at the main bar hanging out with a couple of friends. You get the feel that you're hanging out at someone's old house, because there are so many rooms feeding off the main parlor. They also have a red tabby manx kitty who saunters about surveying all the patrons and pretty much keeps to itself.

Probably one of the coolest bars I've been to... Plenty of beers to choose from and the outdoor patio is awesome for enjoying your drink of choice in peace! The addition of a random friendly cat with no tail was well received by both my girlfriend and myself.

I dont know what New G. was talking about....just look hes from DC a snobbie, (I think that Im better then you) kind of person, The Mek is where its at this pub has so much history, the staff is so nice and the patio is AMAZING the live music is always amazing and the beer is always cold. If you want to feel warm and welcome in a bar go to the MEK its amazing

This bar is BY FAR the only, and best thing around for miles and miles if you are in West-by-God-Virgina. The Mecklenburg Inn and the town of Shepherdstown are in a classic "chicken and egg" situation: were the town folk hip first to spawn such a place or did some imported college grad found the bar and save the town from the kerosene drinking inbred cultural backwash that surrounds. You will understand what I mean if you visit the other of 2 bars in town right next door, which is by far the worst place I have ever been and seems to be populated with locals and in-state college students while the Mecklenburg Inn seems to be kids from other parts of the country, and thank GOD for that. The bar has a high tin ceiling a couple big wooden tables/benches to match the civil-war era wood decor of the entire front parlor portion. There is almost a spirituality contained in old-growth-wood furniture, stained from years dating back to the war between the states. The second section has an old inn feel with some tables, chairs, and a foosball table in the dart room. From there you can walk out of the large glass doors into an awesome outside garden area, along the lit path to groups of stone tables and chairs, and tree swings ( did I mention the tree swings? ). Swinging and drinking in the sweet wet air on a West Virginian summer night almost makes the ducks crossing the great state want to fly right side up. The ratios normally are well proportioned and its easy to strike up a good conversation with the patrons. Potomac river late night swimming trips, find them, they are there. Although the music could use a once-over or a jukebox of well selected CD's ( not an internet jukebox, it would ruin the vibe completely to have the option of playing P-Diddy-nonsense )...I am usually so happy to be there and not drinking in bar full of relatives I don't mind. This bar is a brief example of what is still possible in a truly rural setting, away from the traffic and smog of the hip city. A great local haunt without the constant reminders of a stunted population abandoned by industry after industry, suffocated under a modern feudalism, isolated by fear, and left to the peddlers of vice by their elected officials.

The Meck is simply a great local bar. I lived in Shepherdstown for 2 years and this is the only place I drank. Tony's is for students who live on campus, Alto's seems to be for hicks, and the Meck is for locals. The back area is fantastic in the summer. It doesn't get better than having a burger and a few beers outside on a summer evening. The place is a little cold in the winter, but that's to be expected considering the type of building. I've only had food there twice and both times I got a burger. It was very good and much better than typical bar food. I never thought the bartenders were the most friendly and getting carded every time I went in there was got a little old, but I understand why they have to do it. Definitely recommended if you want to get more of a feel of what the people of Shepherdstown are like and don't want to hang out at a typical college bar.

What a fun joint! This was our first encounter with Shepherdstown and we were not disappointed! It has a very fun and relaxed vibe and the bartenders were very attentive despite being busy. On a Friday night it was busy but not too crowded which was a nice atmosphere. We tried the cheese fries and they were delicious (also served with ranch, yumm!). Their food prices were also reasonable (standard bar fare). I had the Big Timber Porter (local to WV) and it was really good, highly recommend! The setting--a former bank--was really cool and made it very unique and fun. Definitely check this place out if you are from out of town and looking for a unique local place!

When I come to town to visit friends, we always make it a point to have a few at the Mecklenburg Inn. It is a quaint local bar with seating inside with a few booths and tables. They have draft beer and mixed drinks. When there in the warmer weather we would sit out back and listen to live music. They also have tiki torches and stone tables to enjoy the outside. It is long and narrow area with greenery and trees. The times I have been there we have to go to get our own drinks because apparently they don't have waiters/waitresses or if they do, I never saw them... just a nice hangout.. I give it a 3.

For years the Meck's garden has been our favorite place to hang out -- the trees, the breeze, good beers -- but last night we went, and every table was filled with smokers, including one with three bros smoking cigars. The fumes were inescapable. The bartenders have become increasingly less friendly as well, serving their regulars first, no matter who had been waiting the longest. Gorgeous beer garden, but the atmosphere has taken a slide.

Finally decided to try the infamous Mecklenburger. It didn't disappoint. Burger was cooked to perfection. Grass-fed beef was succulent with every bite. The chef was hospitable coming out to inform me of the shortage of horseradish cheese but was prepared to accommodate me with a tasty alternative. For the price i would definitely recommend and even consider replacing my regular burger spot in town.
